if I inject the model you posted up to a map will it have the blade? or are you still working on that?

so i'm yur guinea pig? sweet I like testing stuff out for people.

glretard0613 · Post by **glretard0613** » Fri Jun 30, 2006 2:16 pm

lol actually im testing it now, the model i gave you is not small enough so if you wanna guinea pig then either resize it yourself or ask me for the resized one (which i just made ) haha

RA1N THE ELITE · Post by **RA1N THE ELITE** » Fri Jun 30, 2006 2:18 pm

can i have resized one.

glretard0613 · Post by **glretard0613** » Fri Jun 30, 2006 2:35 pm

if you tell me what this means :

cuz that pops up right when i try to input my model into the swords and then i click continue and the model stays the same!!

that happened to me too when i was trying to inject a vehicle. hmm. did you regroup the groups on milkshape? I'm not really sure what to do to fix that but that means that it could not identify the obj. string.

glretard0613 · Post by **glretard0613** » Fri Jun 30, 2006 2:40 pm

well im using 3ds max 7 lol soo no i didnt regroup in milkshape but usually even if you dont regroup it lets you inject but looks screwed up in the game so wtf!!! haah i want it to be in the game!!

RA1N THE ELITE · Post by **RA1N THE ELITE** » Fri Jun 30, 2006 2:41 pm

lemme try the one you gave me if it works i might be able to tell you the problem.

glretard0613 · Post by **glretard0613** » Fri Jun 30, 2006 2:44 pm

iight i just sent you the resized ones too so yeah haha

and when i think about it i remember somebody saying something about a poly count and theres a certain number that you can passs, could that have anything to do with it or is the thing just gay as hell? haha

RA1N THE ELITE · Post by **RA1N THE ELITE** » Fri Jun 30, 2006 2:51 pm

i'm stumped. It won't work on me neither. I know I'll try a different model.

Edit: ok I figured it out. it has something to do with the model. you must have done something to it. I'm not exactly sure cuz I injected one od my models and it came out alright. hmm. wait. what weapon did you originally use ti make the model. like which one did you export. ex. magnum, sword.

glretard0613 · Post by **glretard0613** » Fri Jun 30, 2006 3:02 pm

yeah i tried with a diff weapon too and it didnt work

i didnt export any other weapon to originally make the model i made it from scratch and then resized it down, i thought you could do that as long as it had the same size and shit like that

that might be where i screwed up

damn ! it was a good model too!

RA1N THE ELITE · Post by **RA1N THE ELITE** » Fri Jun 30, 2006 3:05 pm

well don't give up yet. ask someone that has experience with models.

glretard0613 · Post by **glretard0613** » Fri Jun 30, 2006 3:07 pm

yeah the fact that i made it from scratch actually isnt the problem cuz the original model that i posted i also made from scratch! so aha! thats not the problem but it might be half the problem or something hmmm any ideas? expert modelers please help! lol

RA1N THE ELITE · Post by **RA1N THE ELITE** » Fri Jun 30, 2006 3:18 pm

ask in tech quetions and problems or in new users click here. just don't keep posting there or they will get angry.

glretard0613 · Post by **glretard0613** » Fri Jun 30, 2006 3:40 pm

iight well i posted a topic in the new users click here section
hopefully someone can help

**Edit**

so i figured out why its messed!! its cuz teh model was a little crooked i guess i just figured it out! so i just got it injected so ill put pics up in a sec

******EDIT 2*******

So as you can see there are many things that are needed to be done! but idk where to start exactly, i gotta have some help on how to do things, like how do i put the materials that i made for it in there!

k I know how to fix that shader problem. just give it a proper uv map and you'll be good.

Punch · Post by **Punch** » Mon Jul 03, 2006 7:41 am

you should mess around with shaders and make the light saber only come out when you hold it that would be more like a real light saber

RA1N THE ELITE · Post by **RA1N THE ELITE** » Mon Jul 03, 2006 9:38 am

yea that would be crazy.

glretard0613 · Post by **glretard0613** » Mon Jul 03, 2006 3:25 pm
